Tales of the Endless Mountains

A young professional family from the Midwest follows God's call to minister in a poverty pocket in northern Appalachia, where their expectations run headlong into the reality of mountain culture. Quirky characters, outhouses, horning parties, cow riding, quilting bees, maple sugarin'-they all become part of the fascinating daily life of the Farleys as they work to rebuild a struggling church in a quaint hamlet of Riggs, Pennsylvania.

Nothing thrills me more than stories of God working in big ways in small places. This is why "Tales of the Endless Mountains" is such a treasure Every page contains riveting adventure, humor, and wisdom, all proclaiming God's amazing grace and power. It almost reads like a fictional account. (How could real life in a country church be so dramatic? ) Woven into the tales you will find boat-loads of encouragement, challenges to enlarge your faith, and superb ministry insights-in fact, more (and better ) advice than many books written expressly for that purpose, which qualifies it for a ministry primer. And, I am pleased that it all happened during the Farleys' years of exemplary service with RHMA - Dr. Ron Klassen, Executive Director, Rural Home Missionary Association
